22, calcite
Yes!
Standing outside the jungle is a canine family!
It should be a native dog. It has been used to living in wild life for 4,700 years. No one can guarantee that a docile native dog will do anything when it encounters humans.
The dog is a bit big, with a yellowish and gray overall look. Its expression is not emotional. It stares at Zhao Yunxiang with its dark eyes.
The dog did not wag its tail, which means it was not happy, and there may be no memory fragments of flattering humans in the dog's memory.
"This dog..." Zhao Yunxiang frowned and stood up, took the bow and arrow. If the dog had any strange phenomena, he would shoot the arrow as soon as possible.
Dog domestication dates back to 7,000 years ago, when primitive people began to try to domesticate some docile wolf. After the wolf was domesticated, it became the current dog.
However, the Jiao Wolf, the Gray Wolf, and the Snow Wolf are not the direct ancestors of dogs. The ancestors of dogs no longer exist now, and their disappearance may be related to the primitive people.
Domesticized memories have always been engraved in dogs' memories. They like to hear humans making "tsk tsk" sounds and are afraid of humans' bent down. Everything about them is bound by humans.
One day 4700 years ago, most dogs were liberated, and those dogs who broke free from chains and cages were thrown into this mutational world.
Perhaps, when humans were petrified, dogs survived through supermarkets, or they might have directly entered nature.
After all, dogs are omnivorous animals and basically eat everything, including animals and their own feces. Generally speaking, dogs have much stronger vitality and survival ability than humans.
"Damn it!" Han Xuening seemed to be very familiar with dogs 4,700 years later. Even pets would turn into beasts after 4,700 years of wild life!
"This kind of creature should be careful. It is not strong in combat, but it can contend with terrible diseases!" Han Xuening held the spear, "A warrior in our tribe was bitten by it and died soon, and his death was tragic."
"Rabies virus?" Zhao Yunxiang could guess this. This is a terrible virus that can kill people. If the vaccine is not injected in time according to weight, there will be no luck once it is infected.
Of course, what the two didn't know was that some dogs not only contagious with rabies virus, but also good at using their sense of smell. Even buried corpses will be dug out by most wild animals.
The dog finally left. Zhao Yunxiang looked at the dog's figure and fell into deep thought.
If he was placed on the original earth, he would not have too much time gap. Generally speaking, he would squat down and stretch out his hand, trying to communicate with the same height as the dog.
In this way, most dogs will come over with their tails. Generally speaking, as long as they don’t grind their teeth and don’t hold their tails, they can be comforted at will.
However, this one is different. It has forgotten the domesticated memory and has returned to the primitive. In the dog's memory inheritance, there is no more owner.
"Sure enough, time will make everything weak." Zhao Yunxiang continued to look deep in the jungle and watched the dog disappear from sight.
On this day, Zhao Yunxiang met a creature he knew well.
The domestic pig turned into a very aggressive flower pig, with a physique and personality similar to that of a wild boar. The cat last night had not had a high attack power, but was good at climbing trees and stealing things.
And today's dog, on the road of loneliness, is unruly and will never easily believe in other creatures.
...
The sun is very large, and the heat waves in the air are getting stronger and stronger. The temperature is now getting a little higher, about 35 degrees.
Zhao Yunxiang and Han Xuening walked barefoot on the narrow coastline. They were free to take a walk and looked for something useful.
There are many driftwood on the coastline, and there are some shells and the like.
"There are almost no tribal people here, so there should be a lot of coconuts." Han Xuening seemed to like drinking coconut juice, and so did Zhao Yunxiang.
The coconut from yesterday was snatched from a group of people from the cannibal tribe, but unfortunately, there was only one.
There are fewer coconut trees standing by the sea, only a few of them are sporadic, and even fewer ones with coconuts.
Compared to the coconuts on the trees, Zhao Yunxiang prefers the stones on the ground, and there are always some unintentional discoveries in the sand by the sea.
When the sea water hits the beach, some stones will be exposed. Zhao Yunxiang accidentally found a light orange-yellow translucent stone.
"Calcite, a calcium carbonate mineral, is used to make microscope lenses." Zhao Yunxiang raised the calcite the size of a fist. Through the sun test, the stone had a very high transparency.
"Calcite?" Han Xuening pointed to the stone in Zhao Yunxiang's hand, tilted his head slightly, "Is it this beautiful stone?"
"This is not an ordinary stone, it is calcite. It is mostly grown in limestone rock formations. This stone can be soaked in hot springs and can be deposited as travertine. It is an edible calcium carbonate. It can be used to collect its powder to make Western medicine and is mainly used to treat lung fever!"
Zhao Yunxiang continued, "General calcite is white or colorless. This light yellow calcite may contain iron and manganese! It is a very good metal!"
Iron and manganese have many functions, such as welding, mining, gravel, and the formula for making dry batteries.
Moreover, metal manganese can also increase the hardness of iron without reducing toughness, which is a bit difficult to extract iron manganese.
"..." Han Xuening didn't say a word. She couldn't understand what Zhao Yunxiang said at all, and just kept nodding.
"Calcite, iron and manganese, microscope...what are these!!"
The crazy Han Xuening just turned her head and found the coconut on the coconut tree.
"It's coconut..."
The girl was a little excited and hurried to the coconut tree to pick coconuts.
"It's so difficult to find some coconuts by the beach these days." Zhao Yunxiang looked at the few coconuts on the trees, and felt a little bitter.
The two of them came to the coconut tree. The shaded world and the sun land were like heaven and purgatory. When they looked up, the sunlight above their heads was cut into many pieces by the coconut tree leaves, shining and beautiful.
The coconut tree is 7 meters away from the ground, and there are many driftwood on the beach. It is connected to the spear. It is very simple to cut the stem of the coconut with the sharpness of the spear.
I picked the only four coconuts left on the coconut tree and returned to the shelter together. Of course, it was a hot day to taste sweet coconut milk and enjoy the sea view.
Along the way, no useful stones were found again, and only busy little crabs were chasing the waves by the sea.
Back to the shelter...
I found out that Simba was back.
Something was wrong with this lion. There was a scratch on its head. This guy seemed to have encountered something in the woods.
"Simba, come here..." Zhao Yunxiang looked at the huge lion and immediately called out. His eyes narrowed slightly, wanting to know who did it.
